friday.na.bukas…yey. :)

1. hay salamat. just one more day before the weekend. i’m really pooped out. sooooo looking forward to the weekend. not having to get up at 630am for at least two days. aaaah. bliss.

2. managed to squeeze in some baking last night before going to bed. wanted to try another recipe from The Pioneer Woman. (her site is the second one I hop to everyday…right after ali edwards’ ofcourse. so in love with her and her little punks. love reading about her life with her Marlboro Man. i learn so much from her —from baking to photography to photoshop tricks to calf nuts.)

decided to make Yogurt Marmalade Cake (flour, salt, baking powder, plain yogurt, eggs, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, orange marmalade). the recipe is for one large loaf but i split it into two…figured that it would be too thick that the yogurt+marmalade topping/glaze would be “drowned”. wanted to taste equal amounts of the bread and the glaze. yum. not too sweet. just right. puuuuuuuuuurrrrrrfect with coffee. (maybe i could bring something like this to the next PS eyeball…hmmm…paging PS mods… yoohoooooo! hehehe)

3. the gallery for Week 5 of the Scrappin’ Moms Idol challenge is now up! go check out my entry along with the other 15 remaining participants. great talent overflowing everywhere! Pinay scrappers really rock. 🙂
